Ingredients

  • 1 cup homemade mayo (see notes)
  • 3/4 heaping cup finely diced dill pickle chips (120 grams)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons pickle juice (from the jar of pickles)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Make homemade mayo (optional). If needed, make your mayo (see directions above in blog post).
  • Make burger sauce. Add the mayo, pickles, tomato paste, mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to a large glass jar (I add the rest of the ingredients to the jar I make the mayo in) and stir to combine. Adjust according to taste.
  • Enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers for 2-3 weeks in a tightly sealed glass jar (and the flavor gets better as it sits!).

Notes

*I find that homemade mayo tastes a lot better in this recipe. You can sure store-bought, but I suggest homemade.
